Election Day Entertaining

Happy Election Day!!! If your attending a results party tonight - or throwing one - here's a great recipe for red, white, and blue Americana cupcakes and other election-party favorites.



A single recipe of our Basic Vanilla Cake can yield dozens of cupcakes - and they'll bake and cool quickly. Simply add appropriate decorations to create these patriotic treats!

Get the recipe for these vanilla cupcakes and our Fluffy Butter Frosting.




Serve sweets along with salty finger foods and dips, like our Tangy Bean Dip. Set up your snacks on a table decorated with red-and-white carnation balls. They're so easy to make! Just buy spheres of floral foam and cut carnation stems (each ball takes about 50 flowers) to one-inch long each before sticking them into the foam.
